Fredrick ´Rikk’ Alan Lewis born in Halifax, NS, died in Ottawa on June 8, 2019 at the age of 48.

Rikk is survived by his parents, Rick and Linda, spouse Grace, daughter Harley, sister Trina, and nièce Isabella.

He served in the military for 27 years which included 6 tours of duty including Somalia, Bosnia twice, and 3 times to Afghanistan. He was proud to be a member of 3RCR, the Canadian Airborne Regiment, and the Canadian Military Parachute Team the Skyhawks.

Rikk enjoyed making many friends throughout his life and military career. His favourite pastimes included putting pavement under the wheels of his Harley ´Black Betty’, skydiving with more than a thousand jumps under his belt, and had a passion for weapons and firearms. Rikk possessed a joy for life that radiated through his broad smile and gleaming eyes. He was well loved, and will surely be well missed and well remembered. He dearly loved his family, friends, and comrades in arms.

Friends and family are invited to visit at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Ave. on Friday June 21, 2019 from 10:30 a.m. until the time of the Memorial Service at 11:30 a.m. Interment will take place in the National Military Cemetery followed by a reception.

Rikk, your infectious smile, never ending friendship, commitment to you brother’s in arms, your country and ultimately your family will never be forgotten. We knew each other as young soldiers and shared a great bond as time went on some of us stayed in the military others like myself moved on. I would like you to know that I am honoured to have known you and served with you. Your time with us has come too quickly and I know you will be clearing the way and preparing room up there for the rest of us. God Speed my brother, till we meet again my friend.
